as i said going forward, we intend to adapt to the security environment, to ensure we are better position and support the department of state in securing our facilities around the world. but in order to be able to effectively protect the american people and our interests abroad, at a time of instability we must have an agile and ready force able to quickly respond. and above all, and forgive me for being repetitious, we have got to end the cloud of budget uncertainty that hangs over the department of defense and the entire u.s. government. i've got to use this opportunity to express, again, my greatest concern as secretary. frankly, one of the most greatest security risks we are facing as a nation, that this budget uncertainty could prompt the most significant readiness -- military readiness crisis in more than a decade. the department of defense faces the prospect of sequestration on march 1. if congress fails to act, sequestration is triggered. and if we also must operate under a year-long continuing resolution, we will be faced with having to take about $46 billion-plus out of the defe
